AN: Hello, I manage to write a second chapter. It was difficult to decide what will be in this so it won't be so sort, so I decided to write what really happened on the day in which Elena cut her connections to the council. I like to thank snake screamer for giving me the idea what could have been the discussion with Ratchet and council and decided to continue it.

to Gry21: First of all, I will decide on Steeljaw part later. Mostly, because there are still four episodes left and we still don't know what will happen. Especially since the title of episode 25 is called "Enemy of my Enemy". We don't know what or who it may involve, which is why I now concentrate on Stunticon case now. So, while waiting I ask you to be patient and wait to see how things will revolve.

Let's Roll Out!

In Scrapyard, Bumblebee tried to look for something, but he doesn't seem to find it. Peace and Strength tried to help him with that while Young and Elena "helped" Bumblebee to look. Well, they obviously knew that the item he was looking was gone, but still, it would best to help and make sure nothing fragile breaks.

"Hey, careful!" Denny said, while tried to make sure nothing gets broke. "Didn't you say you lost your Decepticon Hunter in battle?"

"I know I had it with me on the mission. But I searched the area where I fought Heatseeker, and it was gone. I guess it's possible I'm remembering it wrong and just misplaced it." Bumblebee said.

"No, you definitely had it there. I saw it." Strength said.

"Maybe you dropped it and someone else picked it up?" Denny suggested.

Bumblebee started to believe it could be the possible answer. Not delight one but possible. So, tried contact to Fixit.

"Fixit? Were there any traces of other life forms in that area?" Bumblebee asked, but didn't get the answer because Fixit seemed to be concentrated something else and they all learned it what. Fixit was passing by while playing Russell's tablet.

"Eat my duckbill, iguana," Fixit said to the video game.

"Don't mind him. He's completely pre-occupied by my video game. Which he was gonna just try out and then give me back." Russell said while starting to regret he ever show it to him.

"It seems so simple, but throwing semi-aquatic creatures at moving reptiles can be quite difficult," Fixit said while super occupied with the game.

"I'm sure it is. But can you give me that scan history for life forms in the area I lost my Decepticon Hunter?" Bumblebee asked again. Luckily he knew how it was with Earth's video games. He was more into racing games.

"Of course, Lieutenant. As soon as I finish this level." Fixit said while continues playing.

"Good thing I'm into different kind of video games," Elena said.

"What kind, sis?"

"Well, mostly adventure console video games and hidden object. It's really good training for your brain." Elena listed.

"Hmm… I could try that. That is if I'm not needed on something important." Young said. Bumblebee smiled on that.

Meanwhile, in Command center, Jetstorm and Slipstream were training, while Ash was meditating and Drift observing his students. Jetstorm and Slipstream were sparing, in which Slipstream managed to defeat Jetstorm.

"Are you all right, Jetstorm?" Slipstream asked his friend.

"Yes, but I did not execute the correct block properly," Jetstorm said, while Slipstream helped him up. "Perhaps I do not have the strength for it, Master," he said to Drift.

"You must use your foe's strength to make him defeat himself." Drift said to his pupil.

"Master is right, Jetstorm," Ash said while getting up. "Even I can defeat bigger foes myself," Ash said.

"No offense, AshStar, but you still your Star powers to survive." Jetstorm reminds her.

"Well, true. But I don't use them much."

Right, then Grimlock and Gaia pass by and that gives Drift idea how to convince his pupil. "Grimlock. Would you please assist with a lesson?" Drift asks.

"Sure, Drift. Always happy to help out. What do you need?" Grimlock asks.

"I would like you to attack Jetstorm."

"What?"

"Drift, what are you trying to teach them? Jet can't fight me.I'm... I'm... Have you seen me?" Grimlock asked.

"That is exactly why I need you." Drift said while starts to talk with Jetstorm. "Jetstorm, you do not need to be large to defeat an enemy. Just remember: Anticipate. Elude. Change direction. Grimlock, attack now."

"You're the craziest teacher I've ever met. Not that I've ever had a teacher." Grimlock said.

"Umm… didn't you had one when you learned patience by making pretzels?" Ash asked.

"He likes to think brother Gunter as an "a friend who gave advice" than a teacher," Gaia said. "Which reminds me… Pretzels?" she said while offered some pretzels to Ash.

"It is all right, Grimlock. The master has prepared me." Jetstorm said and prepared.

"I'll take it easy on you, just in case," Grimlock whispered to him. "Here comes," Grimlock said while trying to make it easy as possible.

"Anticipate. Elude. Change direction." Jetstorm said while made three moves in which he actually managed to defeat Grimlock.

"Huh? How did you do that?" Grimlock asked.

"I cannot take the credit. I followed my master's instructions. I am merely his pupil." Jetstorm said.

"You learned that from being Drift's poodle?" Grimlock surprised. Hearing this Gaia tried to hold her laugh.

"Uh No, I-I said…"

"I want to be your poodle too, Drift. Please let me be your poodle. I'll be such a good poodle." Grimlock begged. Gaia tried to hold her laugh hard now.

"Isn't poodle…?" Ash tried asked.

"A dog with buffy hair and get funny haircuts all over the body," Gaia said while some small giggles get out from her.

"I am not taking additional pupils." Drift said.

"You gotta. Imagine what I could do with those moves if teeny little Jetstorm - can take me down with 'em." Grimlock said.

"Hey!"

"It is not only the moves that are effective. What is important is the understanding behind the moves." Drift tried to Explain.

"Something's behind Jet's moves?" Grimlock wonders and lifts Jetstorm to look what is behind him.

In this Gaia was about to crack up, before Ash covers her mouth.

"Excuse me, I need to take my sister… catch some air." Ash said while taking Gaia elsewhere and soon everyone could hear someone laughing really hard and loud.

"Well, at least someone is having a good time," Elena said while comes to Command center with Russell and Fixit, who still was playing.

"Come on, Fixit. Enough's enough." Russell said and tries to get his tablet back.

"Just let me get to the left bevel-Dust devil-Next level!" Fixit said while managed to continue his gaming no matter what Russell did.

"Russell, I think you soon must do big decision what comes to that game," Elena said.

Right then, the computer comes on showing something on the screen.

"Uh, Fixit? Is that important?" Russell asks.

"Oh, I'm sure it's only…. Ah!" Fixit said before noticed the screen too. "A Decepticon signal!"

Soon everyone was in the command center.

"It's coming from the Antarctic. Near a scientific research station. Back to your burrow, slithery scum." Fixit explains before continues the game.

"Fixit? Research station?" Bumblebee asks.

"Sorry," Fixit said, while put game aside. "The station is near an ice cave where Windblade hid one of her caches. The cache holds supplies, weapons, and a captured Decepticon.

"Captured Decepticons don't give off signals. Do they?" Sideswipe said.

"Not unless they're un-captured," Bumblebee said guessing the worst possible answer. Decepticon has escaped.

"The ice cave that Windblade left her cache in, must have melted," Strongarm said.

"Who knows if the cache's security system is still functional. Let's get down there and make sure those humans are safe. Form on me, team. Let's rev up and roll out." Bumblebee said before they transformed to their vehicle mode.

"Girls, you better suit up for a cold. And Sweet, you go too. You are Star of ice." Elena said.

"Oky!" Sweet said.

Once everyone was ready and front of Ground bridge, there was one thing missing, Fixit.

"No scaled scallywag shall escape my wrath!" Fixit said while playing.

"Fixit?" Bumblebee asks.

"Huh? Oh, right. Sorry." Fixit said while activates the bridge and lets everyone through until continues the game, but only get the game informing 'Game Over' "No!"

"I better handle things here. Who knows if something important happens, while he in that." Elena said to Russell, Strength, and Peace. They understood perfectly why.

Once getting to Command center's controls Bumblebee contacts.

"Fixit? Fixit." Bumblebee called.

"Fixit is occupied, again..." Elena answered. "What you need?"

"Scan the building in front of us for signs of human life."

"Hold on..." Elena said before turns to look Fixit "FIXIT!" That sure made someone jump. "You are needed."

"Denny, take over," Fixit said while gave the game to Denny who just came.

"Huh? W-wait, am-am-am-am I the iguana?" Denny asked while trying to play.

"No human life readings," Fixit informed and went to get the game back to continue. "Okay, give it back, give it back, give it back." Fixit demand, but only to get the game inform 'Game Over' again. "No!"

"Bee, I suggest if you need anything, make one of my Stars call me than you call Fixit and have him delay the value time," Elena suggested before end the call.

"Mr. Denny Clay, we finished placing old chairs" Peace informed while she and Strength came forward.

"Thanks, you sure work hard," Denny said.

"Please, this way better than sit and listen to those sort sight 'bots." Strength said.

"You're talking about the council, aren't you," Elena said, sound bit deadly serious.

"Well, yeah. Why you never told us about it? If we would have known this, we would've hidden the Star tower and run off to here in first place."

"Without good reason? I didn't want to sound depressed or whining just because I thought my father was gone." Elena said.

"Well, you made us think so." Peace said.

"Plus, they would have said that I'm too human and demanded me to give up from it."

"They can do that." Strength said. "Can they."

"Well, before the war, the council was also rough on Stars and that gave chance to FallStar to rise and support Megatron to start the war." Peace remind.

"Yeah," Elena said before looked on Fixit. "Fixit, what are you doing?" she asked. meanwhile, Russell also came.

"Maybe you should check in on Bee and the gang, Fixit? And... oh, I don't know... give me a turn? On my game?" Russell said point up that it is his game.

"Not yet. I am implementing a strategy humans wouldn't think of: Reprogramming the game's code." Fixit said.

"Yeah, that's called cheating." Russell remind.

"I am merely analyzing the game's strategic algorithms in an effort to counter-strategize with superior Cybertronian algorithms," Fixit said for an excuse.

"Yeah. Cheating." Elena agreed.

"There. The game is helpless before my superior intellect. Soon I'll…"Fixit said, but he didn't even get any further before the game once informed 'Game Over'. "No!"

"Wow, cheating really doesn't solve anything." Strength said amusedly.

"Well, it didn't help them either," Elena said while walks down.

"You mean the council." Peace guessed.

"What gave them away?" Russell asked interested to know.

Elena sigh on that. She hated that day she learned the truth of council. But since everyone now is aware that they blame Optimus on Cybertron's destruction, is best they know.

"It was a usual day when they say I was needed on the meeting. But to me, it started to look like they wanted to give the impression that decision was agreed by me, just because I was there. Well, I admit, in some cases, I agreed, like Vertebreak. I declared the sentence myself. But mostly, they did and didn't even give me a chance to talk. Every time I suggested, something it that sounded fair, they said I was too good to them. And mostly it ended in an argument."

"That may explain why you came always so mad." Strength said.

"Yeah. Until that day. We already had a meeting and I was so close to saying things that sure would have some of them gasp in despite."

"Done it! However, not just some if not whole courtroom." Strength said raising his hand.

"I went somewhere to calm down and get things clear in my head. For I knew, if my father would have been there he wouldn't have lost his patience. But that didn't helped, when I discovered the truth..."

Flashback

Elena Star Supreme was walking alone in the huge hallway. Since that time she was smaller everything looked so huge. But it didn't bother mostly to her. After living with bots over years had made her get used to that. But in Cybertron it made her feel like she is treated like a child. This kind reminds her of how it was in ancient Egypt. The Pharaohs mostly passed away so young, mostly because of the desire of power or a love triangle. Talking about drama those days. Well, no matter what the motive was, new Pharaoh was picked so young age and usually, other people took advantage of that. That young ruler became their puppet. And it was either that when he grows up that young child's mind is corrupted by those greedy lies or he somehow learns the truth and fixes things right. That, however, had either good end or bad end. In the good end, the Pharaoh get rid of the mean greedy ones and picks new justice ones. And bad end… Well, let's just say the scene get repeated all over again.

Well, they won't be that desperate to kill her. They have to be descendants of Unicron to even think that option. But if they are Decepticons, they would use most devious way to keep her under their control. Well, she is not sure are they all like that, but she must keep her optics open.

There should be next meeting. Hopefully, it's nothing too serious. Well, if it is hopefully something she could agree as well. Some of the criminals do deserve to get prison like Vertebreak. Even in Earth's standards what he did is horrible. Okay, it doesn't need to be a mad doc. A serial killer will do too or whatever worse criminals there can be.

Elena was just passing through the door which leads to the court room. There she heard a familiar voice.

"This is ridiculous!"

Elena recognized that grumpy voice anywhere. What is Ratchet doing here? More specifically in there? Elena used her earth element to make a small hole to the wall. There she saw what was going to leave shock to her.

Ratchet was standing there, front of the council.

"Without Optimus Prime Cybertron would be still a wasteland with no life. And not just that. A whole galaxy is saved thanks to him. Are really just simply trying to ignore that?" Ratchet said to the council.

"Now Ratchet, we are not trying to erase the accomplishment of prime or his team, we are merely trying to ease the Star Supreme's sorrow since Optimus's... departure. We figure by diminishing the talk of Prime it would ease her trauma." said one council member known as Cyberwrap. She usually was the one who came to pick Elena to the meetings.

"Don't try to use Elena as an excuse! You blame the Autobot as much as the Decepticon for the loss of Cybertron during the war. The only reason you tolerate us at all is cause of Elena. Without her, you would be trying to get us off Cybertron and leave it a planet for yourselves."

"Hold your tongue Ratchet. You may be a war hero but we are still the council." another council memeber said known as Skyjack.

"However... we are glad you brought up the war. We have a special task for you..." Another member known as Cyclonus grinned. "We need someone to go out there to arrest war criminals."

"You want to banish me," Ratchet said knowing exactly what they were up to.

"Come now, Ratchet. We can't send just anybot. It has to be someone who knows the galaxies. Who would be better than someone who has traveled across the galaxy with Optimus Prime." Cyclonus reasoned.

"And if I refused?" Ratchet asked.

"You will go to prison for opposing against us and we will just find another bot for the job." Riotgear said hinting bit devious suggestions. "We could send Ultra Magnus, but he and few other members are in mission already. Wheeljack we could send, but obviously, he would choose prison and lets everyone know about it one way or another. That would leave us with Smokescreen and Lieutenant Bumblebee."

Outside the hall, Elena was biting her lip. If she would have been human, her lip would be bleeding by now.

"Fine," Ratchet admits. "When Elena finds about this…."

"She won't." Cyclonus said. "We know very well how she would react on this which why we made sure She doesn't know anything about this. Or anything else involved about others or Optimus."

"You shouldn't underestimate her. She is Star Supreme for reason. And no matter you think of her, she is also daughter of Optimus Prime. And when she finds out, your days as council will be over."

"If that's all, we suggest you leave soon before we change our minds. You will have big journey ahead of you so you better go get yourself prepared." Skyjack said.

In this, Elena runs away leaving courthouse to the city.

End of Flashback

"And then you collapsed middle of the street." Peace remembered.

"After, next day, they came to ask me again. probably hoping I didn't heard much. But I did hear them. Every. Single. Word."Elena said through her teeth. "I made myself clear that I won't step there anymore."

"But you didn't say that you won't return someday." Peace said.

"What you mean?" Denny asked confusedly.

"Well, let's just say...I have learned that sister might become a Star..."

"No way! The last thing I need is them to crawl on my feet saying they did for best of the planet. More like best of their interest."

"We get it. You really-really-really-really-really-really-really-really really hate them." Strength said. "But have you ever thought you could put them in prison if you were Star..."

"Don't try it. I'm not in the mood talk about it." Elena warned.

"Fine." Peace said before they went on their works and Russell tried to get his game back from Fixit, but no success.

The sun was setting and Fixit was still playing, when Bumblebee called

"Fixit. Activate the GroundBridge. We're coming home." Bumblebee called. "Fixit? Fixit!"

"I told you, it will be pointless," Elena said while answered the call.

"Just a few more iguanas and…"

"Russell, do me a favor," Elena said to him.

Russell know what she meant and activated the ground bridge to bring the team back. But when they did, Fixit was standing middle of the way. others managed to move aside in time while girls screamed until Grimlock came with the Decepticon and Gaia on his head.

"Look out!" Grimlock yell. He luckily managed to pass Fixit, but his foot still pushed bit on him that he lost hold of the tablet that it fell down and got broke.

"Sweet Solus Prime, no!" Fixit cried.

"I get you a new one, but don't let him know," Elena suggested to Russell.

"Agreed," Russell said.

"Teach. Aren't you gonna tell me what a great poodle I was?" Grimlock asked from Drift.

"Your defeat of Crustacion was unconventional but adequate."

"Yup. I've learned everything I need to know. So I guess this means I've graduated."

"No, Grimlock. You have not even…" Drift tried to say before noticed Grimlock having the cutest begging puppy eye face.

"Sweet, did you teach that?" Gaia asked.

"What makes you think that? He said he never had a teacher." Sweet said, while gives the cutest puppy face ever. Yep, she still has it.

"Yes, Grimlock, for your many minutes of work under my tutelage, I declare you a Master of punching." Drift said to make Grimlock happy.

"Heh-heh. Don't worry, little guys. Just keep workin' hard, listen to your teacher, and someday you'll be masters, just like me." Grimlock said to Jetstorm and slipstream, who didn't know how to take that.

Elena chuckled on that.

REVIEWS, PLSSS ^^

AN: OKay, there's second chapter. I try to go make next one. I really can't wait to start to write chapter 4. There will be something special happening during the whole of case. ^^
