Diego Garcia Base
Cleo lounged lazily on the sofa in the remodeled rec room, her deep brown eyes searched around the massive empty room. It was 7:30 am and not a lot of people or bots were out and about yet, save for a couple of soldiers and Ratchet but he just went back into recharge, even the dogs were still asleep. Cleo's eyes switched from deep brown to Autobot Blue as she felt herself begin to drift off to sleep, her eyelids finally dropped down over her eyes and she once again in the dark of her dreamless sleep. It was such pleasant sleep, no Vette Twins, no Chevy Twins, no Wheelie, no Galloway, no arguing mechs, no enraged femmes, no barking dogs and most of all no Decepticons. It was nice while it lasted, for poor Cleo's day was about to take a adventurous and crazy turn.
All of a sudden alarms started blaring loudly and red lights began to flash around the room. Cleo abruptly sat up, her eyes were once again deep brown but her heart began to pound like thunder in her chest, she could feel that something was wrong. Cleo leaped off the sofa and took off down the hallway rushing towards the armory. Soldiers began to file out in the hallway but she ignored their questions as she raced past them, she had to get to the armory as soon as possible. The Decepticons were attacking yet again. Once Cleo got to the door she typed in her code and ran in just as the door shut, the only reason she was in here was because she was looking for Akira. The last time she tangled with the Cons Megatron had threatened to harm Akira.
Flash Back: Four Months Ago
Cleo was on the ground breathing heavily taking in big gulps of air into her lungs as her strength drain by the second. Cleo was also in pain after she used all of her energy to revive Ironhide, Chromia, Knockback, Switchblade and Sideswipe and then used the rest of her energy to restore Starscream's power. She was left dying and gasping for breath and coughing up blood lying on the ground helpless trying to will herself into surviving, she could have used the Spark shard to restore Starscream's power but she didn't want to, so she was now to vulnerable to attack. She heard rumbling steps coming towards her and she looked up, her eyes went wide with fear for a moment when Rampage leaned over her, a triumphant smile on his ugly face soon joined by Megatron's ugly face. Megatron nodded and walked away to leave Rampage to finish her off.
"At last you will finally be dead you worthless abomination, let's see that Spark shard save you now!" Rampage's arm turned into a blade and he held it high over her and was getting ready to plunge into her chest. Cleo's eyes changed to Autobot Blue as she glared up at the Decepticon, blue electricity began to line her hands as she felt her strength and energy slowly return to her. She pointed her hand at Rampage's chest as her hand began to glow brighter, a slick little smirk spread across her dark brown face.
"No you are the one who dies today!" she yelled as the blue light began to swirl around her hand and shot towards Rampage's chest and began to swirl there as the Decepticon began to howl in pain. She was doing something that she never thought she could ever do, Cleo was doing something she even wasn't supposed to do but she had to do it to keep those she cared about alive and to keep herself alive. She was the true guardian of the Spark shard and a warrior in her own right. Cleo was going to use Rampage's spark to replenish her strength and power. The light of Rampage's spark began to drain for his body and began to twirl around Cleo as it was absorbed into her body, the Spark shard began to glow as power surged into it. Rampage collapsed in to his knees at the mercy of Cleo, his eyes wide in terror of the once human girl who was killing him. Cleo stood tall and proud as she felt his life force drain into her body.
"Enjoy the pit Decepticon!" Cleo yelled out him angrily as the last drop of energy from the Decepticon was drained out of him, his eyes went dark and he finally collapsed onto his face in front of her. Cleo turned and walked way from the Decepticon as she joined her place next to the newly resurrected Ironhide and Switchblade, Cleo's eyes locked onto Megatron's only this time they were back to their deep brown state. Starscream had already gone but the rest of the Decepticons were there staring in shock and disbelief that Cleo had zapped the spark out of another Decepticon. Megatron was the first to speak.
"You will pay dearly for this you human girl! I'll see to it that you suffer for this as well as that Akira girl your close with!"
"Megatron I'm a techno organic you raving fool!" Cleo just rolled her eyes in disgust. Cleo heard Switchblade giggle a little. Megatron just growled and then flew off as the rest of the Decepticons drove or flew off after him back to their base.
End Flash Back
"Akira? Are you in here? Akira were are you? AKIRA WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU?" Cleo shouted as she looked around for Akira. She heard something rustle from behind a box and saw the skinny amethyst eyed Japanese girl peer out from behind a large box. Cleo sighed with relief that her friend was safe and sound in the armory.
"Cle what's going on? I heard alarms and shouting and yelling, are we under attack?" Akira asked as she stepped out and walked towards the older girl. Cleo sadly nodded.
"Yeah were are under attack, it's the Decepticons they came back to make good one their threat to me I guess." Cleo said as she held her head down then looked up at Akira, who was now standing at her side. It was an interesting contrast, Akira had light sun kissed skin and Cleo had dark skin. The girls smiled sadly and then opened the door and walked out to see the chaos as it unfolded. Soldiers and Autobots raced around heading outside, Crunch and Sakura ran outside after Epps and Lennox, Rex sprinted after Fig, Panthex ran alongside Elita One and Bumblebee sped past with Sam, Mikalea and Simmons safe and sound inside him. Cleo told Akira to find Switchblade and Chromia and with that she took off leaving her friend, avoiding being crushed by soldiers and Autobots, she had to get some clothes on if she was going to fight it out with Megatron. She rushed back to her quarters and went into the closet and pulled out a pair of black pants and a black long sleeved top over her sleep shorts and her tank top and rushed out her door. She was down the hallway which was now empty and was rushing for the door, when the roof in front of her collapsed and a familiar face looked down at her.
"Well well well, what have we here?" Starscream grinned as he looked down at Cleo who felt a tinge of fear zip through her. She only glared at Starscream, she hated him but one part of her liked him which was odd. She need to talk to Ratchet about that as soon as possible. Cleo felt her hands instinctively grab the Spark shard on her neck, she heard a growl behind her and turned to see Stomps with her metal teeth bared at the Decepticon SIC. The Cybertronian dog had came back to make sure Cleo got out safely and didn't get kidnapped again.
"What do you want this time Starscream? I told you before and I'll tell you again I will not hand over the shard no matter what you say or do to me!" Cleo yelled at the Decepticon who only smirked at her and crossed his arms as he looked at the angered techno organic, she looked ever so stunning when she was angry! Wait why was he thinking that?
"Oh I've got different plans for you and the shard." Starscream replied as he gave Cleo a creepy smile that made Cleo wonder what "plans" he had in store for her. Cleo looked back at Stomps who gave her a hidden nod and a wink. Cleo gave a small knowing smile. Cleo took off her necklace, the small silver chair that held the Spark shard and held it out in front of her the looked up at the Decepticon.
"I've got plans for the shard too. I plan to keep it safe and away from you Decepticons!" Cleo yelled and tossed the shard over her shoulder, Stomps grabbed it in her mouth and turned around and took off running down the hallway to join the others. Starscream growled at Cleo for throwing the shard, he couldn't go after Stomps and the shard for the risk of being caught so he acted fast. The Decepticon wanted to grab Cleo and slam her up against the wall but he didn't. He need Cleo for his plan and he need her alive and slamming her against a wall wouldn't help. Cleo felt a moment of relief as Stomps ran outside and out into battle, Cleo grinned and then turned back around to face Starscream and felt a searing pain right in her chest. Cleo yelped and looked down at her chest and saw a carrot sized syringe sticking out of her chest. Cleo felt her vision go blurry and her legs give out from under her and so she fell to the ground on her back. She blinked heavily as Starscream leaned over her and said something.
"Now you're all mine." he said as he began to pick her up.
Then everything went black and she could hear or see a thing, she couldn't even feel her body. The only thing she could feel was a floating sensation, the feeling of air rushing past her face and the warmth of sunlight on her face. She was outside, Cleo thought maybe Optimus had knocked Starscream away and was rushing her out of harms way, or Roulette or even Ironhide or Arcee. Cleo had no idea which it was and was soon totally unaware of what was going on.
Outside Battle
Optimus was trying to fight off seven Decepticons including Megatron and Bonecrusher along with Lockjaw, Arcee and Knockback. Megatron was about to try to strike Arcee but Tigroid leaped onto his back and began to dig into the metal and rip with his powerful jaws. Megatron roared in pain and reached around and grabbed Tigroid and threw him off onto the ground, only to have Optimus shot him in the chest knocking him down, Bonecrusher was mobbed by Harpy, Sideswipe and Chromia who pummeled him and shot him as he tried to fight them off. Optimus left them to deal with Megatron who was back on his feet, Megatron pulled out his mace and struck Optimus and knocked him twelve feet back. Megatron grinned in triumph and began to advanced on the fallen Autobot leader as he got closer he spoke.
"Now you will die again…..brother!" Megatron extended a blade and was about to deal a fatal blow to Optimus when Roulette charged him from the side unseen. She knocked him down and began to beat and stab him at the same time.
"This is for Cybertron! This is for killing Optimus! This is for killing Cleo! This is for Switchblade! This is for all the countless others you've killed! And this is for being a selfish pain in the aft!" Roulette charged up her blaster and shot Megatron in the face knocking off a few valuable plates. Megatron snarled and threw Roulette off of him and then stood, grabbed her by her ankle and swung her around and threw her into Optimus knocking them both back to the ground.
"Decepticons retreat! Retreat I said! We will finish off the Autoscum later on!" Megatron ordered and the Decepticons began to transform and retreat, Megatron glared at Optimus one more time.
"You live to fight another day Prime! As for you, you pitiful sparkling. You will face my full wrath." He said directing his glare to Roulette who glared back at him.
"Walk over here and say that to my face coward!" Roulette said as she jumped up and prepared to charge the Decepticon leader again but Optimus gently but firmly held her back.
"No Roulette you will get your chance next time." Optimus ordered the young Autobot, Roulette sighed heavily and nodded. She watched as Megatron and the rest of the Decepticons left, shortly followed by Starscream ,whom no one had seen though out the entire battle took off out of the building that held the, rec room, mess hall and then living quarters. Knockback was about to say something when Stomps ran towards them, carrying something within her metal jaws. The large gray-blue Cybertronian Pit Bull opened her jaws to reveal Cleo's Spark shard. Everyone felt a pang of fear rise within their hearts and their sparks.
"Were did you find this Stomps?" Optimus asked as he careful picked up the necklace, wondering why Cleo who was the rightful guardian didn't have it with her. Stomps shook her head and whined sadly.
"Starscream sir. He had her cornered in the hallway threatening her. She threw the shard to me to keep it safe, I heard her yelp in pain and I saw her fall. Starscream has taken her." Stomps said holding her head low.
"We have to get her back! No telling what the Decepticons will do to her!" Ironhide voiced his concern for the girl as well. Stomps whined and looked up at Optimus, a sad gleam in her blue optics.
"I'm sorry I have failed you sir. I know I am not her guardian but she's my friend and I failed her." Stomps felt her spark ache with regret, Optimus kneeled and rubbed the muscular hound's ears.
"No need to worry Stomps, you did what you had to do and what Cleo wanted you to do." Optimus managed a kind smile to Stomps.
Stomps' tail wagged a little at the Autobot leader's words. Akira stood pale faced and ready to faint by Lennox and Leo who were holding her up. Which was saying something because it took a lot to make Akira or Cleo for that matter faint.
"Everyone we need to find out why Starscream took her and why he didn't try to go after Stomps for the shard." Chromia said.
"What if this planned ahead? That would explain why Starscream was careful not to be seen by us." Elita said joining Optimus's side.
"I believe Starscream either acted alone or had few Decepticons in the know to his plan on taking Cleo. Whatever he has planned it's not going to pleasant for the girl." Optimus said, feeling his own worry arise thinking back to the last time Cleo was taken by the Decepticons. The girl had been electrocuted and even had a processing chip placed in her brain to make her turn against the Autobots and NEST, luckily Cleo was able to override it on her own but not before she rough up several people. Now what they had to do now was findd out how to get Cleo back to the base safely before anything else happened to her.
En route to Secret Location:
Starscream flew high in the sky soaring ever so higher to make sure no one saw him or recognized him. The Decepticon was pleased that his plan had gone just as sweetly as he had planed it, Megatron attacked the day he said he would attack and that gave Starscream enough time to slip in and take that annoying techno organic girl Cleo. He could have had Reno do it but the male techno organic was no where to be found oddly enough. The only Decepticons privy to this little "snatch and grab" were Bonecrusher, Skywarp Thundercracker and Brawl. Starscream had Cleo tucked away in the seat of his alt form fast asleep thanks to the sedative he acquired from Scalpel who was more than happy to see how it worked out.
"Now all I have to do is get back to the base and place the little parasite in the designated area we set up for her." Starscream smirked to himself as he continued to fly and was soon join by Skywarp and Thundercracker in the sky and Brawl and Bonecrusher on the ground.
